Since 1948 the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce has led the business community's efforts to create a more prosperous region for all. Today, the Lexington Area Chamber is made up of the area's leading businesses, churches and civic organizations. With nearly 200 member companies, we are the largest business association in Lafayette County and the only local chamber with a regional scope. Our shared vision is "a thriving region in a competitive world." We work toward that goal in three major ways:

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

We participate with business, government, religious and community leaders and stay focused on the region's top business, civic and social priorities.

BUSINESS ADVOCACY

We champion and promote essential business interests to improve prosperity and the quality of life in our urban and rural communities.

CONNECTIONS AND RESOURCES

We provide member-driven services to help individual businesses grow and succeed.

Membership is open to all companies interested in doing business in the region. It is also open to churches and civic groups who support our quality of life in and around Lexington.

The Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce has been working in tandem with our Economic Development Initiative and the Bureau of Tourism to strengthen our community, encourage growth and identify needs and opportunities of the business community. While helping nearly 200 member businesses guard their futures, we want to keep the Lexington area a great place to work, live and raise a family.
